Safety, trust & environment

All pets are separated during feeding times and two filtered pet water fountains are available for use at all times. I have additional regular bowls & slow feeder bowls for your pup to use (pictures of all bowl and water fountain types are in my photo gallery). If your dog is crate trained or needs crate training, a large size crate (with divider if needed) is available for use as well. NO NEED TO BRING ANYTHING EXCEPT FOOD AND A COLLAR/HARNESS & LEASH FOR WALKS! 🙂 Maple & I have natural no-filler dog treats to share with your pup. If you prefer to have them consume their own treats, please bring some! Dog toys are available here (let me know if your pup prefers fluffy or tough toys), but if they have favorite toys, please feel free to bring them. A super comfortable orthopedic dog bed, which is also great for relieving dogs’ joints, will be available for your pup to sleep on. We look forward to their stay! 💛

Information Emily L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog’s daily routine, how many cups of food they eat per meal, if they have any special needs, confirm they are potty trained (potty trained required), and anything else that will be important for me to know for their stay. Please send/bring their most recent vaccination records to ensure all pets are safe to interact with each other as safety is a top priority of mine. :)

A typical day

I’ll keep your pup occupied while having fun! I have dog puzzles available for mental stimulation and we will go on long walks for physical exercise. Maple will also be a great companion for playtime.

Fun & Reliable Pet Sitter 🐶🏠💛

Pet care experience

Welcome, I’m Emily! I grew up with several dogs and cats in my home at a very young age. I’ve taken care of & trained dogs of multiple breeds, sizes, and ages since then. I’ve had my current dog (Maple) since she was 3 months old while I took care of a 2 month old puppy at the same time. I successfully trained both dogs, taught them polite indoor manners and fun tricks. If you’d like me to keep up your dog’s training, let me know and I’d be happy to help with this during their stay! I have experience serving dry kibble, wet food, raw foods, and mixtures. Friends and family that I have been a sitter for have expressed their gratitude for my reliability and timelines. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of your pet sitter following every instruction given. Rest assured, you can feel at ease knowing I will be taking care of your pet by following your instructions in great detail & sending photo updates. (Note: Maple lives with me and she loves meeting new friends. 🐾)

Emily was great! We did a meet and greet with her dog ahead of the first stay to make sure they could get along. She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day and most importantly, our dog seems like he had a great time hanging out with her dog and cat!

Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter. Our dog Charlotte adores her — the full body wiggles when she sees Emily say it all. She also loves spending time with Emily’s sweet dog, Maple, and comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed every time. What really sets Emily apart is that she doesn’t just “watch” Charlotte — she truly invests in her. She reinforces manners and works on obedience in such a natural, positive way, and we’ve genuinely seen improvement in Charlotte’s behavior. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s learning and having fun. Even with the newest addition to the household — the cat! — Charlotte has been comfortable and well cared for. Emily creates such a calm, loving environment, and it’s clear she treats Charlotte like one of her own. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Could not recommend her more highly.

Emily took great care of our Luna over the holidays! She sent photos and videos of Luna almost every day, and it warmed our hearts to see Luna becoming friends with Emily’s cat. Would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a sitter!

Emily was great with my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. I will definitely book again in the future.
